CD Keys For Website Copies?

[Chippy]

Bought Factorio about two years ago on the website and was wondering when or if they plan on giving those of us who bought it early on their website, before it was on steam, keys for steam. Gald to see it finally is on here though!

Hello,

so the functionality to claim Steam Keys has just been deployed to the website. If you have a paid membership (Transport Belt Repair Man or higher) then you can claim a Steam key on your profile page[www.factorio.com]. There is a section dedicated to Steam

Simply clicking the button will generate a Steam key for you. You can then copy paste the generated key and use it via the Steam app to activate the game. The game will be released on Thursday 25th Feb 2016 at 11:00 a.m. PST. Only after this date will it actually be possible to get the game via Steam. We thought it would be possible to write reviews already, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case=( The amount of keys is limited for now to 20000. In case these run out or are close to running out we will request a new batch from Steam. So Enjoy!

We had to disable the functionality to obtain a steam key for now due to many frauds taking place. Basically a frauder buys the game (possibly many times) with stolen credit card and then sells the steam keys.We are working on solution to this which would require a steam login here on the website in order to retrieve the key. This doesn't influence the users but should bring the amount of frauds to minimum.Once this is programmed (should be very soon) we will resume the functionality to obtain steam keys.Thank you for your understanding.

Oh ♥♥♥♥ i thought someone might do that!

I hope they stick to it and get it solved, but you never know!

hm since he/she bought it 2 years ago, i would think the frauded? person would have done something until now, they might consider a waiting time of 4 weeks between NEW sells and the steam key release - for example

Yeah that would be one way around it - Not optimal by any stretch, but better than nothing. It usually takes banks a month or two to catch up and reverse payments like this if memory serves.

you could try to email them, they should be able to see that you have purchased it a long time ago, maybe you could also make a suggestion or quote mine or something, maybe they even plan something like it already

Yea sounds like they are working on a fix, if they do it the way they stated by having you log in to steam on their website that would do it, but hope it`s soon. Assuming it`s been roughly a month since they put a pause on steam keys for those of us who bought it on their website.

You get an access to the game right NOW. You will be entitled to ALL the game updates in the future as well. We deliver new versions every couple of months. Together with the game comes a scenario pack with three mini campaigns exploring different aspects of the game. You can get a Steam key to own the game on Steam as well.
